No. Clock should be in UTC/GMT. It is crazy to have local time in
BIOS. Why?
Imagine your system is powered off, and clock is running in it. You'll
power it off when its clock contains time 02:30:00 in the day where clock
is to be shifted from 02:00 to 03:00 (so no time like 02:30 exists that
day). So what will be the time in your system? This is simpler case,
because you can simply shift the time to 03:30:00.
The same applies to e.g. 02:05 the day when clock is to be shifted from
03:00 back to 02:00. Is it the time before or after shift?
